nother exciting year of sports is coming to an end in Pacific Palisades and it’s time to look back at some of the local athletes who inspired us Awith their will and their skill in 2018… No one gave us more inspiration than wrestler Hamzah Alsaudi and swimmer Dora Seggelke. Their burning desire to be the best is what sepa- rated them from their peers and earned them Palisadian-Post Cup Awards as the outstanding senior athletes at Palisades High. Alsaudi was all about winning and became a maestro on the mat, sav- ing his virtuoso performance for the City Section Championships in Feb- ruary, when he scored four first-round pins to capture his third consecutive 195-pound title—the first Dolphins wrestler ever to accomplish that feat. He needed 15 seconds to vanquish Poly’s Ken Perez in the first round, bare- ly over a minute to beat San Pedro’s Alex Davis in the quarterfinals and 1:36 to pin Sylmar’s Sergio Cabral in the semifinals before flipping Bir- mingham’s Moses Trujillo on his back and waited for the referee to signal the end at the 1:33 mark in the final. Alsaudi made more history a week later in Bakersfield, taking fifth place to become the first Pali High athlete to medal at the state meet. Seggelke was the heart and soul of the Pali High swim team, captaining the girls to their ninth straight section crown and her unwavering commitment was never more evident than at the City finals meet in May when she competed with a broken wrist and who willed herself to second in the 200 individual medley, third in the 100 butterfly and first on two relays—swimming the butterfly leg on the Dolphins’ 200 medley relay that won by almost a full second and closing in style with a strong leg in the 400 freestyle relay. Hamzah Alsaudi won his third straight City wrestlng title and was the The girls won for the 12th time in 13 years with a whopping 579 points. Dora Seggelke captained Pali High’s girls swim squad to its ninth 2017-18 Palisadian-Post Cup Award recipient.

She led by over 20 points after the semifinals and earned three “9s” from the five-judge panel on her 10th dive to all but seal the victory. Jordan Wilimovsky of Sunset Mesa won the men’s 10K at the USA Open Water Nationals in May in Tempe, then won the 1500-meter freestyle race at the U.S. Swimming Championships in Irvine in July in a blaz- ing 14:48.89. Less than a month ago the 24-year-old Team Santa Monica distance swimmer and former Will Rogers Junior Lifeguard won both the 400-meter freestyle and 800-meter freestyle events at USA Swimming’s Winter National Championships in Greensboro, North Carolina. Riviera resident Adelaide Saab, a starting freshman on the Pali High girls water polo team, took first place in the female 14-17 age group in the Classic Distance Race of the Nautica Malibu Triathlon at Zuma Beach in September, completing the half-mile ocean swim in 14:03, the 17-mile out-and-back bike ride in 55:11 and the four-mile run in 32:55 for a total time of one hour, 46 minutes and 32 seconds—eight minutes ahead of the second-place finisher. One year after winning the Post Cup Award, Dane Elkins proved he is still among the best racquetball players in the world in his age group. After earning a USA Racquetball Scholarship in June—one of only four players nationwide so honored—he and longtime partner Ricky Diaz of Stockton won the bronze medal in the Boys 18 Doubles division at the IRF World Junior Championships in San Luis Potosí, Mexico in November. Elkins also made the singles quarterfinals at his final junior event, taking a game off top-seeded Fernando Ruiz Michel of Bolivia. On the basketball court, Max Miller and Caden Abraham led their LA Westside 16U squad to championship at the Maccabi Summer Youth Games in Orange County, piloted by Miller’s dad Rich, who collected his 16th gold and 20th medal in 20 years of coaching at the annual event. Huntington resident Charley Wadler, a senior point guard, captained Ex-St. Matthew’s soccer star and current New Zealand national team the Brentwood School boys team to its second CIF Southern Section title in Akhil Tangutur was voted City Volleyball Player of the Year and led captain Ali Riley signed with Chelsea FC in July.

That came mere- ly hours after freshman Sammy Wadler, Charley’s younger sister, hit a ty- ing three-pointer, then made the game-winning layup to lead the Brentwood girls team to a 55-53 victory over Foothill Tech in the 4AA final. Nobody was more impressive on the tennis court than Via Bluffs resident Chloe Bendetti, a Georgetown-bound senior at Oaks Christian High who won the Marmonte League singles title and completed the season with a perfect 26-0 record—the first player in school history ever to do so. Pali High’s Jack Harrington and Tomas Huttepain won the City doubles title in the spring and in the fall twins Sophia and Ireland Amato led the Dolphins’ girls squad to its sixth straight City title and fellow senior Alex Miller reached the finals of the Individual doubles draw with sophomore partner Emma Akiyama. Former Pali High player and Highlands resident Ilana Oleynik, now at Colorado, won her singles and doubles matches versus Washington in the Pac-12 Women’s Championships at the Ojai Valley Tennis Tournament in April and enjoyed a perfect final day at the CU Invitational in September, winning her singes match 6-0, 6-0, and her doubles pro set 8-0. Catherine Hou, now a freshman at Pali High, was a force on the dia- mond, leading her Santa Monica Fastpitch 14U Gold All-Star team to the USA Softball Southern California State Championship in Lancaster. The Riviera resident belted a three-run home run in the final game against Capo, which Santa Monica won in extra innings to finish 32-2. Hou played second base and went 6-for-13 at the plate over the three-day event, hitting for the cycle with three singles, one double, one triple and one homer. Thanks to the efforts of All-City first-team defensive back Jake Na- dley, punter Tommy Meek and running back Max Palees, the Pali High football team shared the league title and made the Open Division playoffs. Miller Moss, a sophomore quarterback at Alemany High, passed for 2,714 yards and 19 touchdowns in the fall while Brentwood School senior Jack Tobey, who lives in the Riviera, paced the varsity squad in rushing Huntington resident Charley Wadler captained Brentwood School’s (491 yards) and tackles (113) while leading the Eagles to an 8-1 record. Black belt Tamar Springer won two gold medals at the 50th annual boys basketball team to its second straight CIF title.

Each week, the Pali Life cover highlights a different aspect of Pacific Palisades, including noteworthy people, local events and dives into the history of what makes the Palisades so special. This year’s covers started with a reflection of 2017 from community members, ranging from Councilmember Mike Bonin to Rodolfo Barrientos of Gracias Señor, and ended with the Post’s annual Deck Your Halls Contest. Here are are few of our most memorable Pali Life covers from 2018.

The tall, sports-loving girl from an impeccably liberal family had abruptly found herself at the heart of a federal investiga- tion into a cannabis farm in the Inland Empire. It propelled her into the international media under the unwelcome sobri- quet of “Pot Queen Pin.”
